Pluto Partners, renowned for their expertise in M&A advisory within the dental sector, successfully facilitated the strategic deal between Ace Dental and Dental Beauty Partners. Their guidance and industry knowledge were pivotal in aligning both parties to achieve growth and mutual success.
Adarsh Thanki, of Ace Dental Group, commented on the deal: “After 10 years of ownership and the first acquisition of the Ace Dental Group I am excited and sad to announce the sale of Ace Dental Kentish Town to Dental Beauty Partners. I’m confident that under the new leadership of Dev Patel, the clinic will continue to develop and expand as the premier dental practice in Camden.”
Further commenting on the process, he said: “I have known Max Bazzucchini since his ADP days back in 2010 when he was buying dental practices and have always discussed practice acquisitions/disposals over the years. I had a previously failed sale with another agent and so required a very bespoke approach to market the practice.
Max offered that unique approach to the sale and instructed I take a proactive approach on ensuring my due diligence was in place. He explained to me his ideas and what the process would be and kept me updated step by step.
Max far exceeded expectations and maximised the value by over 20% more than other agents. His personal relationships with the major corporates greatly helped to establish a private tender process, indicative terms and ensure a smooth sale process.”
Aimee Deavin–Baker, Head of M&A at Dental Beauty Partners said: ”Max brokered on our recent completion of Ace Dental in Kentish Town, he was great at liaising between all parties and helping to push things along so that we were able to complete within the agreed timeframe. Max is always easily contactable and quick to respond.”
Nick Rolph, Pluto Partners Group CEO, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have facilitated another perfect match between Ace Dental Kentish Town and Dental Beauty Partners.
At Pluto Partners, we pride ourselves not only as M&A advisors but as true matchmakers, offering a bespoke, personalised, and director-led service to ensure successful partnerships. Congratulations to both parties on this exciting new chapter!”
